Yeah it was something about my 5ghz wifi signal it didn't like. I switched it the 2.4 signal and that worked like a charm. After everything updated and I reset the phone it seemed to work just fine on both signals

A kid in my class did this for our 5th or 6th grade class photos and got in so much trouble. Instead of doing reshoots they just colored out his fingers with marker before distributing the photos to us.

It's because most people don't care about things like that. They just want podcasts for free and don't think about how they're made. It's the same as when a successful YouTuber does a sponsored video, people lose their minds.

I've only had to use the support once and while I'm happy with how friendly, easy to speak to, and generally eager to please the agent was, the support itself was just so so. I'll echo it what others are saying that they don't seem terribly knowledgeable and are just following procedures.

To me this is a management/training problem. Google really needs to equip these people with the knowledge and tools they need to do a good job. I can only hope it will improve over time

Even Google Now on the pixel is struggling with that. For me it's 50/50 if it recognizes the song even in optimal conditions. It doesn't listen for awhile and say 'Sorry I couldn't catch that' it just listens until the progress bar hits the end then the card disappears

This started happening to me with the quick charging cable/brick, but only for the first 10 seconds or so. After that it appears to be charging correctly. It doesn't do this with the USB c to USB a cable.

UPDATE: I spoke to Google support and while very friendly, they didn't know what the problem was. The did ask me to reboot to safe mode and try charging from there and that actually worked. After I rebooted from safe back to normal it seems to charge as intended. If you're having this problem try rebooting to safe mode, plugging the cable in and see if that helps.

Yup, same with me. I've been babying it like crazy and only setting it face down after I got a case that keeps the screen off the surface of the table, but I still have teeny scratches on the screen now. I have to hold it just right with the right lighting to see them but they're there.
